My opinion

An 88 minutes horror thriller that you don’t want to miss. The film manages to keep the viewer on the edge of the seat without making it unbearable. It’s easy to feel sorry towards the main characters as they’re kids who had been kidnapped and the chances of getting out are less as time goes by.

Good acting and a good twist that makes this film a enjoyable one. On my opinion is a 4.5 out of 5 and a 9.5 out of 10. Totally worth the time and having a Shudder subscription that if you’re a horror fan and don’t have one I don’t know what you’re waiting.
